Perhaps its the apprehension/anxiety that makes it feel bad then? I like coding (building things) and couldn't care less about businesses, and am having a great time. In the current state of AI, mass layoffs probably won't happen. But I guess its a bit scary that we don't know how much more it will improve...

It's a big part. But the erosion of what coding means is another big part for some.

>I like coding (building things) and couldn't care less about businesses

There are people who like coding, but they mean "building things" by it, and other who like coding and mean "coding" itself. The latter we aren't as pleased.

(I also like building things, but I like building them via coding, not thru vibing and getting them spit out).

I’m sorry, what? Have you been paying any attention at all to the state of the industry lately?

I wasn't clear enough, I was replying to "you'll be the one selected, out of millions laid off," in context I meant "mass layoff" as in "95% of everyone is out of a job permanently".
